National Geographic Photographer Robert F. Sisson
Eastman House, with a Treasure-trove of Exhibits, Tells the Story of Photography
George Eastman lived in this Rochester mansion until his death in 1932. Today, as a museum of photography,
it is a living memorial to him. Here visitors may inspect the old cameras and paraphernalia of photography's
past and trace its development to the present. Many of Eastman's possessions-books, furniture, and paintings by
old masters-remain for all to see. The museum, a mecca for picture enthusiasts, drew 250,000 visitors in 1953.
School children often attend in groups, supplementing classroom studies (page 438).
